In order to be a discerning person, perceptive to the workings of the Holy Spirit in your life, one needs to take time away from busyness, being productive, getting things done, measuring one’s worth on achievements. Otherwise, withdrawing to meditate, reflect upon one’s life, to listen to the stirrings of the Spirit will not happen. Contemplation is key to hearing God’s quiet whispers. When was the last time you shut off your cell phone, turned off the computer, spent a quiet evening alone with yourself. Or when was the last time you set some time aside to listen to the One Person who is to matter most in your life—the God who made you, sustains you, loves you, cares about you and affectionately calls your name?
